<p>It attack happened&nbsp;in Parker Way, Halstead at around 5.40 yesterday evening.</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Essex Police say&nbsp;29-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly allowing a dog to be &quot;dangerously out of control&quot;.</span></p>

<p>The dog has been placed in kennels.</p>

<p style="line-height: 20.8px;">Nieghbour Phylis Young told the <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-37129134" target="_blank">BBC</a> that she heard the boy&#39;s screams.</p>

<p>&quot;I heard this screaming,&quot; she said. &quot;I did not really associate it with anything terrible - it was like children having a bit of fun. But then I thought it might not be quite right.</p>

<p>&quot;Then it was quiet. I looked out of the window and saw a police car and paramedics and neighbours looking along the road.&quot;</p>
